Ms. Dorothy Core
Rt. 1, Box 3
Almyra, Ar. 72003
Dear Dorothy:
I ran across some information yesterday that you will be
interested in, if you don't already have it. It seems that one
of the women captured in the Chickasaw attack was Marie Genevieve
Baury. In 2 Documents Relating to Indian Affairs 37-8 (1958), a
petition written by her says that in May of 1749, Chickasaws,
Choctaws, Abekas, and some "wicked rogues" joined together and
struck the Arkansas Post, killed several people, and took her
captive. She further states that she lived with the Chickasaws
for a time and then with the English at Charleston for six
months. She was in Charleston in September and October of
1751. I gather that she would be the wife of the man named Boury
in the 1749 census.
I hope that this is of interest.
Could you please send me Bill Barron's address? I would
like to buy a copy of his Vaudreuil calendar.
Hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
[signature]
